Wait, what day is it?

Oh.. Sunday.

Internet here is super slow mo... so pictures will have to wait.

But this is the most amazing place.

We have been in Hania, Crete since early early early Thursday morn. Wed our other friends met us who were coming from Sweden and we toured Athens. Took a cheesy double decker tour bus... Slightly stereotypical, but an easy and stress free way to see the sites. We got off and toured the Acropolis and hiked up to the Parthenon. From there we could also see the amazing span of the city. SO HUGE!!

We took the metro to Pireus around 7 (after getting caught up in, but negotiating safely out of a communist parade)... and boarded the night ferry for Hania. It left the port at 930pm. We ended up sitting on the deck... accidentally because we didnt know there was an inside lounge... and couldnt figure out why EVERYONE was smoking. It was an 8 hour tour.... I couldnt sleep. Read and people watched.

We arrived in Hania at 5am and dawdled for a few hours before leaving the ship and finding a cafe to sit in... Cafe turned out to be a bit of a "truck stop" kinda place... all they had for breakfast was white wonder bread toast and butter and jam. We then took a taxi and arrived in beautiful old town around 9.

It is beautiful here. It has been sunny and in atleast the 80's everyday. Our studio is in the old Venetian port and there are lots of beautiful alleys and small walkways with no room for cars... lots of places to walk. Yesterday.. or the day before we took a 15min walk and found ourselves on the beach. We have eaten delicious food and balanced leisure and adventure. Naps are a daily occurence. As is walking everywhere. The only taxi we have taken was from the port to our neighborhood.

I cant wait to show you all the pretty pics. I will as soon as I find internet that isnt so slow I want to tear my hair out.

We still have 11 days here... and then it is on to Santorini.

I love and miss you... but I am having the most amazing time!
